Switching between different objects
If you are still on Blender 2.79, you can use the Layer System for this. Simply assign the objects you want to view together to the same layer by selecting them in Object Mode, pressing M and then clicking the layer you want them to appear on. 



Objects can appear in several layers, so if you wanted the same chair to be visible in multiple combinations, that can be done by adding it to multiple layers. You do this while holding Shift while assigning the layer.
